HPC uses American sources to meet its needs. Thomson-Shore, an employee-owned and highly regarded book printer located in Dexter, Michigan has been supplying HPC since its beginning. T-Shore has state-of-the-art equipment and is capable of producing reprint runs in eleven working days. To this end HPC has been successful in implementing a min/max inventory control that provides a steady flow of books to the trade and insures that those titles in high demand will be readily available.

HPC has a long relationship with Ingram, the key wholesaler to the book trade, and Baker and Taylor, the key wholesaler to all the American library systems. The two are vital centers in the publishing industry. Through newly-implemented technology, a watchful eye is kept, not only on the demand for books but also for the beginning of returns, a signal that the sales trajectory has arced.
